Abandoning us to the barbarians
I guess a review of the dear departing is properly called an obituary. So be it! "Death the Leveller," James Shirley called it: Only the actions of the just / Smell sweet and blossom in their dust. One of our finest and most brilliant Stumblers, GCL (Gwen) has posted this on her blog and is leaving:
Quote: "Dear Friends, I am releasing you from my list of Mutual Friends so you do not end up with "ghosts" on your lists... It has been all my pleasure to correspond with so many people from around the world and to have developed a warm relationship with you who have responded so generously... With Spring approaching, it is a time of new beginnings and old ends. I have miles and miles to go before I sleep and I must get on with my work. I am going into SU rehab."
Gwen!
How dare you! Slithering away are you? Leaving the rest of us semi-normal Stumblers to battle the encraoching tide of pimply youths, MySpace loonies, FaceBook click-collectors, marketing spam bots, glittering angels, women in negligees riding unicorns or sat on rocks in the moonlight, ageing Celts dressed in animal skins, and assorted collections of pussies galore, fake romantics, nightmarish dreamers, porno paparazzi, and fat bald 60s males using busty-leggy-scanty-blondie chicks as avatars.
Go on then! Run! Enjoy life! De-friend your old and new friends with heartless derision. Abandon our world to odiferous lemurs and buggered begats.
Let your cackles echo over the windswept Canadian steppes. Let Quebec quiver. Let the wolves howl in your wake, and the terriers throw up, and the yellow moon slide behind a black cloud.
Who cares. Who's even noticed. You'll be back.
"The garlands wither on your brow,
Then boast no more your mighty deeds! [From Death the Leveller,]
